Something About Me Saturday: One Of My Favorite Places

My husband and I absolutely love Cape Cod. We usually make a trip there once a year. We find it is just the best place to recharge our engines. I like quiet beach vacations. No Jersey shore for me folks. I like places where you can hear your thoughts and connect with God. The outer Cape is a great place to do just that. These pictures I believe are from 1999 or 2000 and were taken in Truro, Massachusetts.

I love hearing about your ancestors but I also love when you do a post on your life right now, you and your beautiful family. That's a wonderful corner of the world you found to recharge your spirit in.

I loved it when we stayed there at Corn Hill. This was before we had kids. We stay in a different place now that is a bit more family friendly. Maybe when they are a little older we will go back there again.

A couple a years after that trip I discovered that she had remarried after her first marriage to Alonzo Pelham ended in divorce. She wed William Thompson on Oct. 2, 1912 in Riverdale.
